    A beautiful and winding street near the heart of San Francisco, with beautiful corners, private and well-kept flower beds flanked by unique private residences that create a magnificent harmony, as well as beautiful views. I wasn't satisfied with going down with the car, I wanted to walk it to record it in my mind and here it is still.

    Lombard Street, a picturesque street that has become one of the most coveted places by tourists. And the stretch that runs between Hyde and Leavenworth streets, a sinuous and steep route of eight horseshoe curves flanked by luxurious mansions and flower beds full of flowers, in the heart of the city, surprises and captivates in equal measure. The route, designed in the 1920s to allow traffic on a road that had a 27% gradient, has turned the descent of Russian Hill – one of the more than 40 hills in the Californian town – into an entire experience, whether on foot or by car. And some side stairs located next to the houses, on both sides of the street, also allow pedestrians to brave the steep slope. Although Lombard Street is an exclusive street that extends from the Presidio of San Francisco, in its northern part, to Coit Tower and Embarcadero, crossing different neighborhoods, the 125 meters of red cobblestones emulating a snake are its true epicenter and one of the busiest spots in the city. Hundreds of curious onlookers and tourists come every day to watch the contour of the cars as they descend slowly in a dizzying zigzag, or to feel firsthand the experience of driving along it. The maximum speed of the section is limited to 5 miles per hour (approximately 8 km/h), and the descent - in the past the road was two-way - is usually done in a caravan, something that adds a certain beauty to the image, especially all if viewed from the bottom of the section. Leavenworth Street is the place where the best photographs are taken, especially in spring and summer, when the flowers that adorn the flower beds show off their colors in all their splendor and where most tourists tend to gather. From the junction with Hyde, at the top of the hill, however, the views over San Francisco Bay, the bridge and the Coit Tower are truly spectacular. Approaching Lombard Street does not entail any complications. Located a short distance from Columbus Avenue, a major artery that runs diagonally across North Beach and Chinatown, it is accessible by bus, cable car - the traditional tram - or private car. However, the “success” of this street also has its less friendly side. For years, residents, tired of traffic - queues on weekends and in summer can reach 20 minutes -, crowds, lack of civility and noise, have demanded from the Administration a regulation that guarantees coexistence. In order to reduce tourist pressure, municipal authorities have approved establishing a toll per vehicle of five dollars a day and ten on weekends, with prior reservation, which will mean an improvement in the area. Although, surprisingly, it is not the steepest road in San Francisco, its original route has made it one of the best known. Vermont Street, between 20th and 22nd Streets, in Potrero Hill, with only seven curves, is less spectacular, but it is still a little steeper, a circumstance that has been taken away by the Bring Your Own Big Wheel, a crazy annual wheel race that Originally, it was set on Lombard Street. However, beyond magnitudes, what we are convinced of is that in no case will it be able to surpass it in beauty or popularity.

    The famous curvy-downhill road. Just make sure to take that quick photo before vehicles starts coming down. Also, follow the rules to avoid any accidents and try to get to a high place to see the whole view.

    (Translated by Google) Floral, spectacular The area is beautifully maintained and flowery. We walked along on foot, we need to add strength, but he understood, a very nice sight is unfolding in front of a person's eyes from above. (Original) Virágos, látványos A környék csodaszépen gondozott, virágos. Gyalogosan jártuk végig, kell hozzá erőnlét, de megérte, nagyon szép lát kép tárul az ember szeme elé fentről.
